Dioceses in Philadelphia, Phoenix and Toledo, Ohio, say they're planning similar Lenten campaigns for 2008--and some priests are even hearing confessions in venues likes shopping malls. Church watchers like Martin applaud all this as a sign that "the church, like Jesus, is capable of being creative about getting these things across to people." Others, like Gregory Baum, emeritus professor of theology at McGill University in Montreal, call it a belated Hail Mary pass.

Nationally, house prices dropped 3.2% in the 12 months ending in June, while the economy grew...
...held 13 head-coaching jobs in a 30-year career, the 1969 decision was no big deal--even though his Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics and V.B.K., as he was known, was fired. An ex--New York Knick, he coached teams including the Detroit Pistons, the Phoenix Suns and Bill Bradley's Princeton squad--and treasured teamwork and unselfishness above all. "Life isn't much different than [basketball]," he once said. "If it's run right, with precision, with good, honest effort, it's a thing of beauty...
